If you're a guitar geek looking for an excuse to cut out of work early we have the event for you. Dweezil Zappa is in Chicago to play his late father's tunes at the Copernicus Center this Thursday evening and, prior to the show, he'll be hosting a 90-minute personalized guitar instruction session at Chicago Music Exchange. If you attend you'll also have a chance to get a preview of the new Gibson Frank Zappa Roxy SG electric guitar.

The master class begins at 3 p.m. Tickets are still available as of post time and are available online here. (3316 N. Lincoln Ave.)
